at the time abigail wrote her second letter to john adams on november 27, 1775 she begins the letter with a series of rhetorical questions such as: if a form of government is to be established here what one will be assumed? , will it be left to the assemblies to chose one? with this questions, she is asking her husband what new form of government will be established and she is concerned that the delegates may not be able to come to consensus.

also, abigail believes that the regulations of government have been "so long slackened" that people could ignore a new government; she recognizes difficulty to establishing a new state.  

congress has authority over financial and budgetary matters, through the enumerated power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the united states. the constitution also grants congress exclusively the power to appropriate funds.
